BJL:1973A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 11/21/9;. Agenda Item Number: Ji !~ ........ c c o o ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OF TIlE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO STAFF REPORT City Hall Lease PaYments On October 7, 1991, the Community Development Commission approved the refinancing of City Hall through the issuance of Certificates of Participation in the amount of $12,000,000. These Certificates were subsequently issued in March 1992, with a maturity date of March 2022, in order to retire the 1972 City Hall bonds as issued by the Civic Center Authority and to raise needed reserve funds for the City. All City Hall lease payments in connection with these bonds are to be paid by the City, with the Agency paying for all fees, including letter of credit fees (the letter of credit will expire on March 7, 1997 unless extended by the bank). Now, in order for the City to be able to fund the Rio Vista project, the City has asked the Agency to make a one-time only payment in the amount of $75,000 for the City Hall lease. As City Hall is in the Central City Project area, and funds will be required from other redevelopment project areas to make the $75,000 payment, benefit resolutions will need to be adopted to allow for the transfer of funds. Staff recommends adoption of the form motion. ^ ~ II c- ..I I IS", LCD,.' 'y "eJ, 0,' .5< Barbara J.
